The $10 million medical building that Community Care Physicians formally unveiled Thursday morning is intended to offer a range of services under one roof for the convenience of the patient, said Dr. Ronald Musto, the group's executive vice president.

In addition to offices and examination rooms, the two-story, 40,000-square-foot building at the Rensselaer Technology Park includes a laboratory, imaging facilities, an urgent care center, plastic surgery services, and a workout room for patients, staff and area residents.

Specialists and staff from Albany Medical Center will rotate through the building to provide additional services.

The building is networked with other Community Care offices. With X-ray and other imaging equipment on site, physicians can view within minutes results from the imaging center, Musto said.

The new building also gives Albany Med a presence in Rensselaer County. It already has physicians in facilities in Latham, Malta, Clifton Park, Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls, and Kingston.

"We work collaboratively with Community Care," said Dr. Ferdinand Venditti, vice dean for clinical affairs at Albany Medical Center. "We're in a number of their facilities."

Community Care moved from offices in downtown Troy, where parking often was limited, to North Greenbush, opening the new building several weeks ago.
